A fault plane seems to intersect just
East of house, going N to S, and on
North side of this fault seems to
be some partly West North
West of this house is stream junction.
On eastern branch at this junction
is Brassfield and Brassfield
shows up on the southern side of
the hill land between this
junction stream junction or of the
Farm the course the Clints extending
including the Iron ore, continue west
ward on N side of stream, and on again
East bank of western forks. Here
* Cathayron clint merges, Birdshy,
*Lancetata with parallel sides.
* Defile area, Iron ore, occur in
Brassfield limestone. Along the
Eastern side of this western fork
the Brassfield dips southward
and somewhat easterly so that
it would go under the hill land
on the South side of the stream
south of the junction of the two
forks. The Dayton limestone
seems to form the top of the
section as exposed along this
ridge between the two forks.
It is not known what lies
N of the western forks, and
this system fork might be due
to fault lines. Look up.
Return to road junction a little over
1 mile NNE from Andrews school.
Go E. Probably Crab Orchard clay on
North bottom. Then NE, probably,
also Crab Orchard clay in North bottom
and on south side of valley.
Before reaching point where road
turns about due west N, blue black
shale is exposed on S side of road
and also on N side of road further
up hill. Here the black shale dips
steeply West or that at road
angle where road turns to right N
there is Monroe with black shale
westward, the plane of joint act
dipping steeply west.
Road turns straight north. Monroe
Road turns ENE. Monroe at
road corner. Stone on north side of
road. Monroe in road very
poorly exposed along road.
1 white east is little limestone all
along the road.
The road turns to right N again.
East of this road are great areas
covered with blue black shale
also pretty well mixed with Bedford
drift.
Along the road southward is
white clay, probably Clinton argy. Stone
further N, as far as road angle, is
blue's black shale.
